+Star and Planet Browsers:
+[For the moment This only applies to the Windows version of Celestia.]
+In the navigation menu are 'Solar System Browser' and 'Star Browser'
+options.  The Solar System Browser pops up a window with a tree view
+of all the objects in the nearest solar system (if there is one at all
+within a light year of your current position.)  Clicking on the name
+of any planet in the window will select it; you can then use the center
+or goto buttons to see it in the main Celestia window.  The star
+browser is a window showing a table of the hundred nearest stars,
+along with their distances and apparent and absolute magnitudes. 
+Clicking on the column headers will sort the stars.  The table is
+not continuously updated--if you travel to another star, you should
+press the Refresh button to update the table for your current position.
+The radio buttons beneath the table let you switch between viewing
+a list of nearest or brightest stars.  As with the solar system browser,
+clicking on any star name in the table will select it--use this feature
+along with the center button to tour the stars visible from any night
+sky in the galaxy.

+Selecting Objects by Name:
 It's possible to choose a star or planet by name.  There are two ways to
